Kings win the Stanley
« on: June 12, 2012, 06:04:57 PM »
Spewin. Equivalent of the Bummers getting up and winning it. If someone said last year that the Kings were going to win the Cup I would have fallen over. Probably lucky the Preds knocked out the Wings early in the playoffs too. Reckon after a string of injuries and poor form the Wings were just getting ready to hit some runs.

Have had my photo taken next to the Stanley Cup at the NHL Hall of Fame in Toronto  :thumbsup

Fabulous place even has an Australian Ice Hockey exhibit because we were one the first countries to sign the international Ice Hockey Federation thing

Hoping for better things in 2013 for Maple Leafs  :pray :pray Not confident but always hopeful  ;D

The Leafs' main problem is they fall away fast after their first couple lines. Armstrong and Grabovski are great but it's pretty obvious when they're not on the ice. But that's the issue of most of the sides at the moment. I'm hoping the Wings will bounce back next year. It's time to change the guard I think. Pretty sure Lidstrom will be gone since he spent the better half of '11/'12 injured, even blokes like Draper are still in the system (though playing with affiliates mostly). Red Wings are like Geelong at the moment. So many old bones but still some guns like Datsyuk that will pull the team through. Oh, and hopefully a goalie to replace Howard  ;D

Would love to check out that hockey exhibit one day  :thumbsup I hope to get over and catch some games one day. A bloke at work went to New York earlier this year and caught a game.... just by chance it was Red Wings v Rangers... at Madison Square Garden *grumble grumble*

Yellow and Black all the way Bruins for me.

Did the full sporting round in Boston bar the Patriots.

Bruins caught a playoff, got a ticket face value as the game started - Boston cops tried to bust me but as soon as they heard my accent just walked off  :rollin
Celtics and Red Sox. So all adopted teams, the only sport I really followed before I went to the states was the baseball and my team was the Cardinals, so 2 baseball teams for me.
And 2 NFL not that I care that much but Patriots and obviously Bengals  :gotigers well sorta Togers

Anyway don't catch a lot of it these days but the Hockey really won me over, terrific to watch live and a playoff to boot was pretty mad ......

Bruins won last time so can't get too greedy  :P

All Detroit for me. Red Wings, Lions, and Pistons. Started with collecting NBA cards as a kid. So I reckon I got lucky with the Wings there lol. Not that big into baseball. But hockey and American football I follow pretty keenly. Ill jump back on the NBA wagon once the Pistons get off the bottom of the conference haha. I was watching game 7 of eastern final the other day but it was hard to stay entertained when Wade and James just dominate, and game 5 of tbe Stanley Cup was on at the same time.

Yeah it is but baseball just doesn't do anything for me  :shh

Oklahoma City v Miami game 1 in the NBA today. I forgot to hit record on Fox before I went to work but it probably won't heat up (hurr hurr) until game 3 or 4 anyway. Miami will probably take it out in 4 or 5 IMO.

BJ is the original 'whoa man'. The rest of us pay tribute. Dookie steals everything.
